Which Ships(Pairings) are the most popular?

I don’t mean ships you like just really popular ones. I see a lot of Soarin/Dash for one.

I expected AppleDash to be bigger than TwiDash.
 
Well I guess it makes sense.
 
Where’d they get the numbers?

@Xamrin  
Number of pictures uploaded on the booru.
 
Twidash currently has 1453 at the time of post. Sparity has 1291.

@Grieffon  
Using only those from that list:
 
@twidash with 1453  
sparity with 1291  
rarijack with 1132  
appledash with 1114  
pinkiedash with 1105  
flutterdash with 1095

Fancytop.

@The Smiling Pony  
Dash is a slut

My OTP came fourth? THE.WORST.POSSIBLE.THING.
 
Anyway, I didn’t expect TwiDash to be so popular.

@Background Pony  
Dash ships with everything, Twilight is the most popular character in art, and that ship exploded after Read it and Weep and especially Friend in Deed.

@The Smiling Pony  
She’s not anywhere close to my favorite pony, but damn if the shipping art of her (R34 or otherwise) isn’t good.
 
I’m pretty sure everyone knows what I like the most though, and I’m fine with its current position at the moment.

@Itsthinking  
If you mean Dash, ehh. Dunno why, but a good deal of art of her I don’t really care for. Not sure if it’s the hair or that she’s almost always “doing something cool” or something.
 
 
Can someone list all the ships ever with, I dunno, more than 5 images? Guess it could be interesting to check the numbers every few weeks, especially once S4 starts, to track trends and stuff.

@The Smiling Pony  
It really depends on the artist for me, though my favorite ship is usually dominated by two artists anyway. One of which…one of which really doesn’t draw much else. Not that I mind, considering it is my favorite.

Given the lower popularity of AJ and Rarity, why is Rarijack so high in the chart? Look before you sleep?

@Grieffon  
I get the lower (and deserved, IMO) popularity of AJ, but Rarity? I thought she was the favorite of a lot of people.

@Itsthinking  
One reason is her lack of episode in S3, but I think her popularity has always been like that, and I don’t know why.

@Grieffon  
People seem to like the “opposites attract” notion.

@SeraphimDawn  
Wouldn’t that place Flutterdash higher then, since RD and Fluttershy are both opposite and more popular?

Rarijack got a boost from the S3 premier, and had always been pretty popular anyways, between Look Before You Sleep and general opposites attract thing.
 
Rarity’s never been one of the popular characters, but her fans tend to be some of the most “vocal”.
 
Flutterdash would probably be more popular except for it being Fluttershy ¬_¬ (please don’t hurt me)

@The Smiling Pony
 
Did someone talk bad about Flutterdash just now?
 

Subtle hints in Eqg.

@The Smiling Pony  
Yeah, Rarifans get pretty bad. Really the only fans that aren’t obnoxious are ironically Pinkiefans.

@Itsthinking  
It’s strange, I haven’t met anyone, online or IRL, who claims that they are Pinkiefans.

@Grieffon  
You’re talking to one right now. Alternates between favorite and third favorite for me. The only set ones in my rating are RD, Fluttershy, and AJ as fourth, fifth, and sixth favorite respectively.
 
Twilight, Pinkie, and Rarity usually switch around the in top three.
